All Purpose Buffalo Chicken Marinade

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Chicken

Ingredients

  • 2-3 chicken breasts (approx. 1 pound), pounded thin
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Buffalo Marinade
  • 1/4 cup Frank's Hot WINGS Sauce for more heat OR Frank's ORIGINAL Hot Sauce for less heat
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Buffalo Glaze
  • Reserved marinade (in directions)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice

Directions

  1. Whisk together all of the Buffalo Marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Measure out 1/4 cup and add to a shallow dish or freezer bag, along with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add chicken and toss evenly to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator 2 hours up to overnight.
  2. To the remaining marinade, make your Buffalo Glaze by whisking in 1 tablespoon honey and 1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  3. STOVETOP DIRECTIONS
  4. Let chicken sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes (time permitting).
  5. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Once very hot, add chicken and cook, undisturbed for 3-5 minutes, or until nicely browned (or blackened if you prefer) on one side. Turn chicken over, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook for approximately 5-7 more minutes (depending on thickness of chicken), or until chicken is cooked through. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Brush chicken with desired amount of glaze – for more heat, more glaze; for less heat, less glaze.
  6. GRILLING DIRECTIONS
  7. Let chicken sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes (time permitting).
  8. Meanwhile, grease and preheat the grill to medium heat, 375-450°F.
  9. Grill chicken undisturbed for 5-7 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through. (An inserted thermometer should read 155 degrees F.)
  10. Remove chicken from grill and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Brush chicken with desired amount of glaze – for more heat, more glaze; for less heat, less glaze.
